Now, a woman and three kids had entered the empty theatre behind us. Moments before the Breakout fun began, she'd taken the two younger boys out to get popcorn, leaving the older - I'll say eight-year-old - girl behind to happily read her Kids Tribute magazine.
Well, the inevitable happened, the bat moving just too slowly to get under the ball, and my wife - who's always quick to chide my verbal indiscretions around children - let out this long-drawn-out, poorly-stifled, F-word-like cuss of frustration. :-) The best part? She followed it up with a "What? What's the matter with you?" expression before she clued in. :-) (Incidentally, the girl didn't even twitch... Quite the little reader.)
Uh, what? Oh, the movie! Yeah, like I said, some funny moments - like the hair ball... They dragged that one out perfectly *shudder* - but, overall, it was so-so. Come to think of it, Puss In Boots (the voice of Antonio Banderas) was in the middle of all the best stuff: the whole Cops-like sequence was excellent, but the best part was the knight pulling the Baggie of questionable material off Puss:
Knight: *sniff, sniff*Catnip.
Puss In Boots:That's not mine.
The deadpan delivery was bang on. :-)
